⚡ Electrical EICR Certificates for Landlords in Teesside (Complete Guide)

If you’re a landlord in Teesside, ensuring your property is electrically safe isn’t just good practice — it’s a legal requirement.

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) helps identify faults, risks, and ensures your property is safe for tenants.

At KLD Property Services, we support landlords and letting agents across Teesside with reliable EICR inspections and full property preparation.

⚡ What is an EICR?

An EICR is a detailed inspection of a property’s electrical system.

It checks:

Wiring condition
Consumer unit (fuse board)
Sockets, switches, and circuits
Potential hazards

👉 The report highlights any issues that need attention.

⚖️ Is an EICR a Legal Requirement?

Yes.

In the UK, landlords must:

👉 Have a valid EICR carried out every 5 years (or as recommended)

You must also:

Provide a copy to tenants
Carry out any required remedial work

Failure to comply can result in:

Fines
Legal action
Delays in letting your property

🏚 When Do You Need an EICR?

You’ll typically need an EICR:

Before a new tenancy
Every 5 years
After major electrical work
If issues are suspected

👉 Staying proactive avoids bigger problems later.

🚨 What Happens if You Don’t Have One?

Without a valid EICR:

Your property may be unsafe
You could face penalties
You may struggle to rent the property

👉 It’s not worth the risk.

🧾 What Do EICR Results Mean?

Your report will be marked as:

Satisfactory – Safe for continued use
Unsatisfactory – Issues must be fixed

Common codes include:

C1 (danger present)
C2 (potentially dangerous)
C3 (improvement recommended)

👉 C1 and C2 issues must be resolved.

💰 How Much Does an EICR Cost?

Costs vary depending on:

Property size
Number of circuits
Condition of the system

👉 Larger properties typically cost more.

For full property costs, see our House Clearance Costs in Teesside guide (useful when preparing properties).
